English Throughout My Life! ♥

English has always played a major role in my life. During school hours, I speak English with teachers and students. I learn in English, do my homework in English, think and dream in English (most of the time), and much more. My family and I are Iranian-Americans, so after school when I am at home, I mix English and Farsi together while speaking to them. Farsi is my second language after English, but I am able to speak Farsi fluently as well. The only time when I do not speak English at all, and only speak Farsi, is when we are visiting relatives in Iran. In my opinion, speaking two languages fluently is quite an advantage because there is more privacy and convenience while speaking. For example, if I am with my friends who speak English and my mom who speaks both, I can tell her things I don't want my friends to hear while they are still in our presence by switching to Farsi. I have also been studying Spanish for the past four years and I am currently in Spanish IB level. I want to become fluent in Spanish just like in Farsi and English because I think that it will help me in the future since I will most likely be living in the United States where the population of Spanish speakers is constantly increasing. Since I am living in Japan, you would think that I am learning Japanese, but unfortunately I am not. I go to an international school so all the students and teachers speak in English. I think it is pretty cool how I am in a foreign country but can still use my mother tongue language all the time. I live on Rokko Island where there are many foreigners, and mostly everything is also in English. This is extremely convenient, but at the same time a disadvantage because I am not able to learn Japanese. I am 100% sure that in the future even after I finish high school and college, I will continue speaking in English because it is such a big part of me. My Farsi will also stay with me, but my English will be more important in my life.
